Did You Know Podiatrists Treat Ingrown Nails?
Sometimes people think of ingrown toenails are purely a cosmetic problem. In their early stages, they certainly can be mostly cosmetic as they may not cause any pain or discomfort. However, ingrown nails can eventually become painful, leading to bleeding, infections, and bruising around the nail. At this stage, it is a good idea to seek care, and the best person to seek care from is a podiatrist. As doctors who treat a wide range of foot ailments, they are the most prepared and trained to deal with ingrown toenails effectively.
A few weeks ago, my wife made me go to the nail salon with her. Instead of sitting around for hours while my wife perused nail decals and polish options, I decided to get a pedicure. It was a really relaxing experience, but I quickly discovered that the process was about more than a foot bath. Before I knew it, someone was cutting and sanding my toenails. Unfortunately, a few days later I developed a massive ingrown toenail infection, which my podiatrist attributed to my visit to the nail salon. I want everyone to know how to properly care for their feet, so I made this website.
